I love the way nuno felting lends itself to fantasy fashion. It brings to mind images of old television productions featuring felted hand puppets in mystical settings. Except now people are wearing these felted creations. I love the shape and texture of this felted, hooded jacket.

Kristin Gallup from California runs this Etsy shop – I’m kinda jealous, too. Clearly she’s made it to Burning Man, a feat I have yet to accomplish. Doesn’t help living on the other side of the continent, in a different country :p still, this doesn’t take away from the cute and kooky clothes you’ll find in her store. I love the colours in this top, and the way the tendrils emphasise the butt – festival gear, for sure!

Linusmanus is run by Norwegian Line Rostad. She tags all her listings with words like “festival”, “steam punk”, and “goth”, so you’ll easily find her stuff when hunting for those keywords. Another one whose store houses many items I immediately fell in love with. From my very short time in Amsterdam, at the beginning of July 2011, I can tell it’s a cold country, much cooler even than Toronto (I don’t spend a lot of time much further north, because for me, cold = depression), so I’d say if you’re a festival-goer in the northern hemisphere, this store probably has a suitable costume for the cold overnight wanderings festivals induce.
